Go to any auto parts supply place for Moog bushings rather than the dealer. You do not want the gapped style bushings and the 1LE bushings cost a lot where the Moog is identical and cheaper. Yes they made a noticeable difference.

here are some lakewood control arms from summit for $90.00 w/ urethane bushing's

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

and here is an edelbrock torque arm (direct replacement) for $175.00

the control arms (with bushings) will more than likely fix your problem but the torque arm will help also
